MOLINE, Illinois. (December 2024): Logan was having dinner with his family at Buffalo Wild Wings, not yet knowing he was actually there to celebrate something very special. That was until their server made him the center of attention. All eyes were on Logan as she announced that Kids Wish Network was making his dream come true, sending him to see the WWE Live Holiday Tour in Moline! Other diners joined in on the celebration, with applause echoing throughout the restaurant. Logan’s surprise dinner was provided by Buffalo Wild Wings. 

When Logan’s family arrived at the Hyatt House East Moline/Quad Cities for their stay, he was warmly welcomed with hospitality. Hotel Sales Coordinator Julie Johnson personally donated many surprises including balloons and a personalized sign in the lobby, followed by a VIP sign and roping leading into his hotel room, and buckets of snacks. It was a very special beginning with so much more to come. His family’s beautiful one-bedroom kitchen suite and breakfasts were generously provided by Hyatt House East Moline/Quad Cities.

Logan’s favorite part of his wish was going to the Vibrant Arena at The Mark to see WWE’s Live Holiday Tour. He even made a sign for the main event. Seeing the show in person had an elevated energy with the music, lighting and enthusiastic fans. He was especially in awe when his idol WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins made his grand entrance entering the ring, and watching him take victory over his opponents. Logan also loved seeing Mike “The Miz” and LA Knight perform. It was an amazing night seeing all the WWE superstars in action.

During the wish, his family was also treated to dinners at Steel Plow Burger Company, and Tony’s Chicago Style Pizzeria, courtesy of the restaurants.    

Logan was born premature, and has mitochondrial myopathy, affecting his muscles, lungs, heart, thyroid and more. He fit into his newborn clothes until he was a year old. He tires easily and uses a wheelchair to get around if going longer distances, and also copes with many other health complications. 

Many Thanks
